  <dc:description>&lt;div&gt;We report observations of Gray Jays (&lt;i&gt;Perisoreus canadensis&lt;/i&gt;) appearing to consume larval Long-toed Salamanders (&lt;i&gt;Ambystoma macrodactylum&lt;/i&gt;) in a drying subalpine pond in Oregon, USA. Corvids are known to prey upon a variety of anuran amphibians, but to our knowledge, this is the first report of predation by any corvid on aquatic salamanders. Long-toed Salamanders appear palatable to Gray Jays, and may provide a food resource to Gray Jays when salamander larvae are concentrated in drying temporary ponds.&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
